#Twitter - This isn't any kind of seriously thought out thing, just some ideas that have been floating in my mind.
I think it was a few days before #ElonMusk carried the sink into the office... I saw one of his fanboys asking why he was even going to make changes to Twitter. Why not buy it, shut it down, and replace it with something he built because they were sure he could do better in less time?
And his reply had something to do with how Twitter would cut years - I want to say he said it would be something like 10 years - off of plans for "X", which is supposed to be some kind of all-in-one social media platform.
The guy asking was kind of like (paraphrasing), "I don't think it would cut THAT many years off, but you know what you're doing better than I do."
And then you look at how Jack says he only really trusts Musk to save things there.
And there's all that stuff about Jack kind of guiding Musk through the whole thing, and Jack still having a good chunk of his shares...
And Jack is supposed to be working on Blue Sky, a supposedly all-in-one social media platform.
Part of me wonders if maybe Musk isn't supposed to destroy Twitter. Like, maybe Blue Sky wouldn't really have any chance as long as Twitter is what it has been.
@weirdfizz I’m thinking that too. The destruction is by design. Musk is giddy about it. The new security risks to users of the bird app as of last night are concerning too.
@peeppeepcircus I'm not really surprised by what he's doing, but just by how fast and loudly. I thought he'd do it slowly and quietly so most people wouldn't even notice. I mean, that's what I'd do if I wanted to make those changes while keeping everybody believing it's all good.
